When the hell did this happen? Surprised I missed that until searching his name on NFL.com today.

The thing that sucks most about being a defensive back is that people only ever remember the plays you gave up and not the countless times you defended successfully. Even if you do things that only 10 guys in the world can do and show it on Sunday for years. Making acrobatic plays like you have eyes in the back of your head, tackling guys twice your size over and over, taking HUGE licks from beasting backs and bigger receivers.

Whats even worse is that when you're reeally good, you're in on every play. . your close. . . but if you dont make that play its gonna look bad regardless, even if it was miraculous that you were in position to make the play. The amount of intuition it takes to play corner in the NFL is off the charts. QB is the only spot that compares, and you dont have to be among the fastest and strongest men in the world to do that.
